Description
===========
The first time I saw little Marie, I thought she looked awful. She had a weird, muddy, old-man-wrinkly, I-can't-even-explain-why-it-looked-horrible texture. Considering how healthy and happy her mother boasted about her being, I felt her appearance seemed too dead and dark.
I lightened and softened her face considerably. Keeping in mind the skin tones of her African-American father and Hispanic mother, I felt like I struck a good balance for Marie's skin tone; I tried not to make it too fair but wanted to make it feel lit-up and healthy. I also added a different texture over top of her swaddling blanket, and I feel it gives it more of a comfy feeling.
Please be aware- I am fairly amateur when it comes to texturing and working with dds files. Though I did spend a good amount of time tweaking, it certainly isn't the best in the world and definitely isn't in high res/HD. I used a couple different programs for editing, saving, and converting, so please let me know if you run into any problems or weirdness with these textures.
Some flaws should be noted also- There is a shadow that appears on the side of her face next to her nose (her left, your right when looking at her) that I can't seem to get rid of. There is also slight shadow weirdness on the bridge of her nose that I can't get rid of either that also appears with the original texture. I believe these flaws must be due to the mesh and/or lighting because I've tweaked and tweaked to no avail. I'm fairly satisfied with the current state of it, though. Constructive criticism is always welcome. It's not perfect, but it's certainly an improvement in my humble opinion. :)
The screenshots and comparison images shown with ENB use the fantastic Midhrastic ENB. I have included comparisons showing with and without ENB to give a better idea of what she'll look like in vanilla lighting/colors.
Install
=======
- Choose which file size you want to use; you only need to pick one!
- Extract the archive contents into your data folder, merging so the files are placed like this:
Data\textures\dlcpitt\clutter\baby\dlcpittbabyblack.dds
Data\textures\dlcpitt\clutter\baby\dlcpittbabyblack_n.dds
- You might have to use Archive Invalidation Invalidated or the included Archive Invalidation tool within your mod manager. I personally use NMM, though I know some folks say FOMM is still the best way to go for FO3/NV.
Uninstall
=========
Delete the two dds files listed above.
Issues/Bugs/Conflicts
====================
There should be no conflicts of any kind considering this is only a couple of textures, but it will overwrite anything that changes the look of Marie. This will NOT overwrite textures for her crib(s), however.
Again, please DO let me know if you run into any texture weirdness!
